Storage Analytics

In this article

Azure Storage Analytics performs logging and provides metrics data for a storage account. You can use this data to trace requests, analyze usage trends, and diagnose issues with your storage account.

Storage Analytics metrics are enabled by default for new storage accounts. You can enable logging and configure both metrics and logging in the Azure portal; for details, see Monitor a storage account in the Azure portal. You can also enable Storage Analytics programmatically via the REST API or the client library. Use the Set Service Properties operation to enable Storage Analytics individually for each service.

Note

Storage Analytics metrics are available for the Blob, Queue, Table, and File services.

Storage Analytics logging is available for the Blob, Queue, and Table services.

Storage accounts with a replication type of Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) do not have the metrics or logging capability enabled at this time.

The aggregated data is stored in a well-known blob (for logging) and in well-known tables (for metrics), which may be accessed using the Blob service and Table service APIs.
